Would you please redo that image with "PageEdit" actually set in the Preferred External XHtml Editor instead of Notepadd++.
This image is used in a section on Integrating PageEdit into Sigil.
And fwiw some very nice screenshots in PageEdit can be made using "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.epub" available in the public domain epubs here on site I believe.
Thanks!

OK, no problem I will redo those ASAP.

I used Gimp and rescaled my original macOS screen capture pageedit.png file to 800 by 850 and downsampled it from 144 ppi to 72 ppi and saved it. It was 397kb (from the starting 1.3mb). I then compared it to your pageedit.png that you produced (literally the same width and height and ppi) and it was only 35kb - less than 1/10th my file size!.
How is that possible? Your file sizes are truly amazing and they still look great on the screen.

No secret Kevin
I use Photoshop which has the option to save files for the web. Doing this converts them from 24 bit to 8 bit files.
8 bit uses a much reduced colour pallet of 256 colours versus the 16 million of 24 bit. Seeing as the majority of the Sigil files are not complex, and contain very few colours to start with, throwing away all that unused colour information results in a much smaller file size without loosing quality or image size.
I do not have a copy of Gimp, as I always use either Photoshop or Corel Photopaint, but you might find that it has that option too.
I tend to do most of my work on my Windows desktop machine (where I have Sigil installed) but I do have a MacBook Air which I use really only for browsing the Internet, so if you have a problem with getting some images of Sigil running on a Mac I could try for you. Not sure how it would work as I am very much a novice as far as iOS is concerned.
Although saying that it might be better if you get Tex2002ans to do them as he/she appears to be lot more knowledgeable about these things than I am.
